I’d be interested to know how/when those who claim to be this “Greek/Hellenic” variant that Sotos is on about, came to be this way…

«Η Ρωμιοσύνη εν φυλή συνότζιαιρη του κόσμου,
κανένας δεν εβρέθηκεν για να την ι-ξηλείψη,
κανένας, γιατί σιέπει την που τα 'ψη ο Θεός μου.
Η Ρωμιοσύνη εν να χαθή, όντας ο κόσμος λείψει!

If you’d rather be a “poullin” instead of a “boullin” that’s fine with me…

Applying Kimon's non-phonetic transcript of Greek into English, then vremenon must be transcripted as bremenon, but I think even he knows that it as ridiculous sounding as poulin.

I think Kimon has demonstrated just why it's so ridiculous of these neo-Cypriots to think that a dialect deserves standardization to a type.

There is only one Standard Greek language, with many dialects. Each dialect does not need a whole new writing system.

It's obviously beyond you!

Without reading every word; this is part of the ongoing neo-Cypriots' plans to write "Cypriot" instead of Greek, whilst also using something simpler like Latin graphemes and digraphs to make near-Cypriot dialect phonemes.

So what’s wrong with that?
